The five basketball positions normally employed by organized basketball teams are the Point Guard (PG), the Shooting Guard (SG), the Small Forward (SF), the Power Forward (PF), and the Center (C).
(1) POINT GUARD:
Point guards are expected to run the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time. Usually the leader and has a position equivalent of a quarterback, basically.
(2) SHOOTING GUARD:
A shooting guard's main objective is to score points for his team and steal the ball on defense.
(3) SMALL FORWARD
The small forward is considered to be the most versatile of the main five basketball positions. Versatility is key for small forwards because of the nature of their role, which resembles that of a shooting guard more often than that of a power forward.
(4) POWER FORWARD
A power forward typically play offensively with their backs towards the basket and position themselves defensively under the basket in a zone defense or against the opposing power forward in man-to-man defense.
(5) CENTER/ POST
Centers need to be physical and tough. They are close to the basket, so they're counted on for high-percentage shots. Their rebounding skills are crucial, and they need to play strong defense to prevent easy baskets by the opposing team. They are the last line of defense and, often, a team's best chance on offense.
